JOhn has this right-
Fortunately-if CWIE-2 is written correctly it should be possible to play with some set of official BWIE rules.  
The reverse is not always possible- for example i am going to run some test in which units attacked 
at automatic elimination odds are immediately ignored for the remainder of the movement phase. CWIE almost certainly 
could not allow this as an option--it still cant handle side by side overruns.

 But how do you implement this in the board game? The change needs to be easily moving to the board game so that the transition to and from the computer is seamless or you will have moved CWIE into the realm of a new game.> > Chuck Sutherland> Network Support Technician> Danville-Pittsylvania Community Services> 245 Hairston Street> Danville, VA 24540> (434)799-0456 x3113> csutherland at dpcs.org > > > ---------------------------------> > From: John Pace [mailto:john_pace_ca at yahoo.com] > Sent: Monday, March 17, 2008 12:09 PM> To: Chuck Sutherland; Karl Gaarsoe; warineur at mailman.halisp.net> Subject: [SPAM] - RE: [SPAM] - [WarInEur] Severe Weather Effects - Email found in subject - Email found in subject> > > Even when victorious, active operations during war consumes men and material, the OOS rule tries to simulate this consumption, for example in 1941 even the victorious German army suffered a hell of a lot of wear and tear.
